She was born in Pueblo August 19, 1949 to John and Vera Gurovich.Survived by her husband of 55 years James Holman, Ava D (Charles)., Jennifer M., Sherrie L., KaylaLynn , Brother John Gurovich (Carla), sisters Barbara Fortna (Russ) and Paula O’Dorisio (Ben) along with numerous nieces and nephews and grandchildren Zach Edmunds, Esperanza Brandie and Santiago M. Preceded in death by her parents Vera and John Gurovich and her one and son Michael A. Holman. She went to heaven leaving behind her husband who she loved dearly each and every day. They were each other’s rocks and glue and not a day went by that they wouldn’t put a smile on each other’s faces whether it was a bad joke or another trip to the store for more crafts. Sandra was the most giving and passionate person. She gave her heart of gold and soul to everyone and everything until her heart of gold could not give anymore. She was the holiday meal hostess to the children’s biggest supporter. Not a day would go by that she didn’t think of each person in her life and was a firm believer never giving up on anyone. LJ was her side kick cat that stayed by her side through every meal and tv show. I Love Lucy and the Golden Girls were always on the tv before her work day started. Growing up, Sandra was a dedicated dancer for Sarah Shaw along with her sister’s. Sandy was a well known volunteer and teacher’s aid for over 46 years through District 60 starting with Beulah Heights Elementary, Pitts Middle School to her most pride, South High School. She worked hard to make sure each and every student got the education they needed without asking for a dime in return. She spent a lot of time working with Kindergarten and being the coach for Destination Imagination and making sure to attend every parent/ teacher meeting to better the school for the students, including fundraising events. Sandy was also a tutor for Pitts Middle School and then moved onto South High School where she was everyone’s morning greeting of the day and admission person to every sports event hosted at the school. You could always find where she was by looking for the craft supplies hanging up or spread all over the tables. There was not a single Holiday that went unrecognized without a home made craft by her. Crafting was her all time favorite hobby to do. Sandy was devoted to ensuring everyone had a smile on her face and there was no such thing as a frown in her book. Besides working in the education system, she was a dedicated member of the Girl Scouts of America troops and helping with the Boys Scouts popcorn sales. Family was always very important to her and always made sure they had everything she needed. Her other favorite thing to do was spend countless hours at the library and Pueblo Chieftain learning family history and working on her photo albums and ancestry information. A special Thank You goes out to Pueblo South High School staff and students for always showing her the true meaning of passion and allowing her to make a change in someone’s life everyday that she showed.. Viewing will be Tuesday November 21, 2023 at 11:00am , followed by Funeral Service here at Roselawn Chapel at 12. Interment at Roselawn Cemetery.
